Johannesburg - A man photographed with a R5m Lamborghini, that was apparently linked to one of the men arrested for the recent heist at the OR Tambo International Airport, claims that he is actually a police officer investigating the case.
He wrote on his personal Facebook account: "So everyone thinks I'm [the] OR Tambo thief, haai."
" Calypso ke nna bra [it's me brother] the foto was taken in the house of suspect when we arrested him [sic]," one of his replies on the post said.
The picture shows two men posing next to the car in a garage. The picture went viral on social media on Monday, with several people saying that the two were part of the gang who had been arrested for the OR Tambo heist.
It is not immediately clear if the car in the picture is the same one linked to one of the suspects.
On Sunday, five suspects allegedly linked to the heist were arrested. An estimated R24m in foreign currency was stolen.
